The 16th IEEE International Symposium on Embedded Multicore/Many-core Systems-on-Chip (MCSoC-2023) aims to provide the world’s premier forum of leading researchers in the Embedded Multicore/Many-core SoCs software, tools, and applications design areas for academia and industries. From the 2018 edition, the conference targets new emerging topics related to embedded AI, ML, and manycore neuro-inspired computing and systems.
Prospective authors are invited to submit their contributions. All contributions should be original and not published elsewhere or intended to be published during the review period. Submission of a contribution implies that at least one of the authors will have a full registration to the symposium upon acceptance of his/her contribution. Through this symposium, the organizers want to develop an interdisciplinary venue to contribute to and discuss the ongoing innovations, applications, and solutions to challenging embedded and general-purpose computing and design problems. We anticipate having attendees from about 40 countries and territories.
Every submitted paper will be evaluated by at least three reviewers in technical quality, originality, significance to the symposium, and organization. We encouraged authors to proofread and spell-check their papers before submission. The 16th IEEE MCSoC 2023 proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society, which will be included in the Computer Society Digital Library CSDL and IEEE Xplore. All CPS conference publications are also submitted for indexing to EI’s Engineering Information Index, Compendex, ISI Thomson’s Scientific and Technical Proceedings, ISTP/ISI Proceedings, and ISI Thomson.

Note: MCSoC does not accept abstract-only submissions

To be published in the IEEE MCSoC Symposium Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance of the event and who is qualified both to present and answer questions.
